First off, there are plenty of Python packages already in Debian; you can download the source (including all the packaging) for any of them either using apt-get source or by visiting http://packages.debian.org.

You may find the following resources of use:

• Debian New Maintainer's Guide
• Debian Policy Manual
• Debian Python Policy
• Debian Python Modules Team
